It has been 90+ days (100 to be exact but hey who's counting) since my last confession...err I mean application for thine sweet suckle of nfl $400. This would be churn #3. After the generic visa, green cheese packers (mastercard), I figured the dolphins would be my #3 treat. But nay, the computer overlords deemed me unfit for the sweet nectar of $400 with a message basically saying "don't call us we'll call you and let you know!"

Oh noes! Reconsideration line why are you not open so late this evening to assuage my teetering anxiety so I may finally convince you to let me suckle on thine sweet nectar.

Anyone know how long you have to wait with Barclays between recent account openings/closures in order to not be denied for too many recent inquiries for their products? I'm guessing 3-6 months.

Question: after all said and done, can we combine/ merge credit lines with another card?

Is Barclay a division of any other card out there, FIA or Bofa? Or are they different.

Thanks, so is it a good idea to close immediately after statement credit post and claimed?

Did she need to close the first one first?

If so how long did she wait after closure to reapply?

I haven't read this thread as I got in on the previous offering, but I thought I would post this. If it has been previously discussed, please disregard.

I received some pretty nice balance transfer Checks In The Mail on this card. Here are the details:

Total of two checks. Both checks have same basic terms:

1. 0% APR until May 2014 (the sooner you cash it the more months you have).2. Checks must post by March 23, 20133. 2% fee (not bad!)

However, on top of that:

4. The first check cashed raises your credit line by the amount of the check up to a maximum of $5,000.00

Obviously targeted, but keep your eyes open. It is always worth it to check the balance transfer check terms.

I got the reward points, everything looks good, but total reward points I have is 41011 points

I go to redeem my points on the $410 charge, and it only requires 41000 points.

My question is how did I end up with an extra 11 points.?.?

was that $600 exactly? Or did you spend 600.53 for example? If later is the case, your point may have been rounded up to 601 rather than 600.

Speaking of CL increases for this card. I was interested in seeing if I could get 1 for mine. I've only had this card for about 4 months now. I was going to try and apply for one online through my account but it mentions there being a credit check in doing so. If I were to ask for a CL increase, would it be a hard pull? Also, it sounds like with this card, they may actually give out random CL increases even if you don't ask for one?I'm trying to rebuild my credit so I'm trying to be careful. My CL right now is only $500. My income is around 70K a year.

I've bought maybe $500 worth of stuff since I got the card and have carried a -$20 balance (oops, overpaid my card)) for the last few weeks and was thinking to just keep it at $0 or close to it in hopes of getting a CL increase. Anyone have any advice they can share with me on this? Thanks alot, it's much appreciated...

For those of us who do not yet know how to find it in the quick summary or the quick summary itself could someone be so kind as to give us specific directions on how to get a working link to the 1000/40000 offer ?

From the Quick Summary (located DIRECTLY AFTER the OPENING POST of this thread):

Is charging $425 initally the best way to get every last point out of the 400/$2500 deal?

Like charging $410 and $590 was for the 400/1000?

I want to cancel my 400/1000 card as the 590 payment posts and get a 400/2500 before it expires.

Just to be clear, I believe getting more than one $400 bonus is against the Terms & Conditions of the deal. Understand that I'm not policing anyone, it's just that I try to keep my schemes clear of breaking T&Cs.From time to time, we may offer bonuses or points or other premiums (for example, First Use Points, First UseCertificates, and Promotional Companion Tickets) to new Barclays NFL Extra Points cardmembers. Unlessotherwise stated in the offer, these bonuses and/or awards are intended for persons who are not, and have notpreviously been, Barclays NFL Extra Points cardmembers. You understand and agree that, unless we otherwisestate, you are no longer eligible to receive these bonuses and/or awards for any new NFL Extra Points accountafter your first NFL Extra Points credit card account is opened. If you receive a bonus or award for which you arenot eligible, we may revoke the bonus or award, or reduce your Points by the amount of the award, or chargeyour account for the fair value of the bonus or award, at our option.

Deferred but increased me from 1500 to 3000. I think my Priceline card led to the small initial CL

carpedinero said: I had to pay down a 0% balance on another card and wait for it to report so my score would go up a little. So I missed the 400/1000 deals but just got approved for the 400/2500 with 9000 limit. 2500 over 90 days shouldn't be a problem, but does anyone know if you can fund a new bank account with a Barclays Visa? I want to open some accounts that I can fund with a card but just want to be sure Barclays doesn't charge a fee.

Also, I applied for the UPromise card from Barclays in a second browser about a second after instant approval for NFL card. That app is in review, I'll let you know what happens with that.

This is my first card with Barclays.

Yeah! I did get the Upromise Mastercard. CL is only $5,000 but at least I got both cards on a single pull. I froze my reports with all three credit bureaus after the application to avoid what some have reported elsewhere, that Barclays will pull all three reports when reviewing a second App at the same time. Credit Score went up by 29 points according to CreditKarma.

Win, win, win for me! Thanks everybody!

So why are you posting in this thread? This offer gives you $400 for free, and then you can stop using it. If that's not your cup of tea then move along.....

I got this offer too but dang I didnt catch the part where your CLI is based on the amount of the first BT check. I thought I could do the minimum $100 amount and get the full $5K increase

Quick question:

How quickly does the bonus pts (40k) post after reaching the min spend?

Does it post after the statement cuts off or immediately?

(Based on the older thread of spending like: $600 + $400 and then using the pts to pay down the $600, it sounds like you get the points before the 2nd statement cuts (which means before you pay the 1st bill).

I just cancelled my card today and will app for another tomorrow so I haven't gotten that far yet.But I think the math works out that way.

40k bonus points give you $400.$2500 spend give you 2500 pts which is redeemable for $25.

Dropping $425 exactly on one of your purchases will use all of your points if you only spend the minimum $2500.I used AP last time as it was quick and easy.I'll plan on doing it again with with two AP accounts though I'll still be $500 short due to AP's monthly limit.But I can afford to wait a month to squeeze every last penny out.

Hopefully the approval process will go through without a hitch.I'll wait a little for their system to update before reapplying.

yes you can deposit it into your own personal cking account. i suggest atm deposit for the lack of hassles.

ETA: the amount of CLI is different for every account. based on your current CL and probably a soft pull to determine risk. b@rclays has done this deal both of the 2 accounts we have with them about 4-6 months after acct opening.

Yes, you can write it to yourself.

I just did mine last week which was different, $4,500 increase - 0% until August 2014, 3% fee.

I'll clear out the rest of a student loan at a higher interest than the effective rate on this and get a hard free CLI that can be useful in the future (transfer to future Barclay card offers). I like Barclay.
